Tepoz locked the GGG (well, Bud and Brandi, anyway) away sometime before he was turned into a statue so people wouldn’t be able to exploit them anymore; that might have been 500 years ago or even longer. We have no idea of the lifespan of tentacled sea monsters…

Good point, Pablo. That’s a stockless anchor, which didn’t become common until the 19th century; it’s unlikely to be much over 100 years old. But the ocean floors are littered with nautical detritus. Stinky has plenty of toys to pick up.

Between the two lists and average comic reading speed, as well as page load times i’d say you have about a week of straight reading material, since i’m a fast reader and I’ve spent literally 12 hours catching up to a few of the bigger ones, Wapsi being one of them. However Wapsi is special, because there is so much you need to keep track of , plus all the little details that turn out to be important down the road.

Also, WELCOME to the Wapsi Community! the best part about catching up to a web-comic, is that you can now join other comment-ers in speculation for future events, talking about the most current comic, or even just argue about physics and how they don’t relate to Wapsi at all. It actually enhances the experience.

Ok, I’m going to throw in a few comics as well.
The Whiteboard
VGCats
Drowtales
Least I Could Do (seriously, no one else picked this one?)
Looking For Group (again, same as above)
Girl Genius
Deep Fried
Megatokyo
Applegeeks (even though their twitter might be alive, everythings is practically dead, lots of archives though)
Pvponline
Evil Inc

PS238 I get in dead tree (issue by issue) as well as the “collected works”). I just wish Mr. Williams would put “ask Dr. Positronic” into the colected works.
Adding:
Order of the Stick (seriously, nobody mentioned that?)
Nodwick (because aaron williams did that one too)
Skindeep
Godseeker
The Desert Peach Comic (another web-in-ization of a paper comic, and the current story is a bit dark, but … worth it)

Aaaand you’re my new favorite person. 🙂 I happen to have a t-shirt warning that the wearer has been diagnosed with CBD (Chronic Backstabbing Disorder for the uninitiated)…and it’s signed by the artist. 😀

Most webcomics I follow have been mentioned already, but here’s some new ones:

I’d recommend checking out sediverse.com for their webcomic, too, but they’ve recently undergone some website renovations, and for some reason, the comics are now only available as free downloadable bundles instead of being hosted on the website archive, but it’s still a fantastic comic, and one I recommend reading.

I’m kinda surprised that Nerf-This, ScoutCrossing, and Motokool haven’t been mentioned yet, but they’re all good comics. Nerf-This is the primary one with Scout Crossing and Motokool being two side-stories the artist is doing, but Nerf-This is the only one that updates on any regular schedule.

I’m dating myself when I say this, but Metanoia, if you can find it, is a damn good webcomic. It’s such a pity the artist just dropped off the face of the world, I was so hopeful for a resolution. On that note, Kagerou, another webcomic, is somehow related to Metanoia, but this one still updates. Kagerou is unforgettable, if you give it a read.

There’s also Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space! It’s quite the excellent satire. By that same artist comes YU+ME (read as ‘you me’), a most fantastical love story of a read. This one is quite the emotional roller coaster, so if you do go on an YU+ME archive binge, have some tissues on hand. It’s fully completed (and it’s final update was on my birthday! That was such a beautiful birthday present).

Wonder if M is actually ‘drawn’ to supernatrual critters now. She WAS the one who decided to go to the island and lets face it. Going to the one island in the world which has your friends ex-sea-stinky close by has gotta be high odds.

That or stinky REALLY knows Bud and knew she would be sunbathing somewhere and has been searching for her since they last met 🙂

I was thinking the same thing… though I do believe there is a species of squid or octopus that can use its head as a storage compartment, usually for food…honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it opened a hatch somewhere on its body, much like Bud can do.

‘In other news, another of the Spoiled Princess cruise line’s ships had major issues today, but what exactly isn’t easily determined because there are conflicting reports about what happened… First some people are claiming that a gigantic anchor grazed the ship as it fell from the sky. Others report that around the same time, a tentacled monstrosity attacked the ship, apparently searching for something. Some people are even claiming that the tentacle monster was searching for and eventually found the anchor and then happily swam away, leaving the ship and everything else in it’s wake… We’ll have more news on this story as it develops…’

Oh, yes, like that urban legend of a poor doggy retrieving a stick of dynamite belonging to some idiot ice fishers. In this case, oh, an unexploded WWII depth charge. Not that that would bother Bud any.

Mine once escape the yard and brought back the neighbor’s untended ham left to smoke in his grille. Fortunately, they let it go in exchange for some expensive smoked salmon. Ah, well. Sill miss that mongrel thief of a dog after all these years.

That ships anchor: damned heavy. The girls: all really strong to heft that sorta thing ???? It puts Shelleys “strength” to question if she’s really stronger than them physically if one of them can lift that anchor.

Am I the only one wondering how many tall, leggy, cornstraw-blonde girls Stinky has terrorized over the last couple centuries by coming out of the ocean near them and/or dropping an anchor next to their dozing heads on the beach?

Oh, now that would have been a funny filler strip! (Incidentally, I’m pretty sure Bud is only about average height. Brandi is the tallest of the Golem Girls.) Stinky could sulk like the cat who brings you some disgusting dead thing and is hurt when you don’t appreciate their gift.
